Letters

Kudos to Jody Ingalls for her clear and compelling letter defending Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s support of “the Biblical definition of a family” (Support Chick-fil-A, July 29). It has been encouraging and impressive to see what a powerful response his remarks have received.

It is not free speech that has ruffled our feathers. It’s that Chick-fil-A has donated millions of dollars to hateful organizations. Organizations such as the Family Research Council, who, in 2010, spent $25,000 lobbying Congress not to condemn Uganda’s “Kill the gays” bill. What is wrong with simply not wanting our money forwarded to such organizations? That is the reasoning behind the boycott.

Since when are gays in charge of who and where one should eat or have a business?

I’m referring to gays objection to and closing of the Chick-fil-A restaurant in a state school, University of Louisville. Have they forgotten that free speech is for everyone or just them? Gays have no problem pressing and trying to force their agenda.

I just finished reading the letter from the man from Owensboro writing about losing his job with Century Aluminum. I feel sorry for this man and the many other families who will be going from good-paying jobs to unemployment and food stamps. These problems can be traced back to 2008 with the election of Barack Obama.

While campaigning, candidate Obama promised that energy prices would skyrocket and that anyone building a coal-fired electric plant would be bankrupt. Now we have the change we definitely did not hope for.

There was a recent letter in The News-Enterprise from a gentleman first saying how great a place Glendale is, then claiming if people can’t start drinking wine with their meals there, they will start going other places to eat.

I find it rather humorous to think folks who have been coming from miles around for years suddenly will stop coming if they can’t drink wine.

I read Sunday’s editorial concerning the Elizabethtown Sports Park, with the full view of the Sports Park from my back yard. I felt chastised like a child because I was one of the few with “hard feelings” about this enormous creation adjacent to my neighborhood.
